It can be GENEALOGY MYOPIA to think that your local historical society only keeps or cares about, well, history. But history need not be Colonial, to be history. In fact, some of us are downright historical ourselves. So, don't hesitate to ask what a particular historical society has in their little archives. And while you're at it, ask them WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND WHAT YOU WANT. They may suggest the name of the branch library that has it, for instance.
